CRKT – CR4041R – Provoke – Folding Knife – 1.4116 Stainless Stonewash Karambit – Grivory – Red

Description

The CRKT CR4041R Provoke® is a revolutionary folding karambit knife that masterfully blends ancient combat design with cutting-edge innovation. Designed by the legendary Joe Caswell, this morphing karambit is the first to feature CRKT’s proprietary Kinematic® technology, which allows the blade to rapidly deploy from a secure closed position with a simple thumb nudge. This futuristic action makes the Provoke® not only a conversation piece but also a high-performance tool for tactical and everyday use. This particular model, CR4041R, features a bold red Grivory® handle—a lightweight, high-strength thermoplastic engineered for resilience and portability. The use of Grivory® significantly reduces the knife’s weight without sacrificing durability, making it an ideal companion for EDC enthusiasts, first responders, or anyone who needs a compact yet formidable folding karambit. The blade itself is crafted from 1.4116 stainless steel with a stealthy blackwashed finish, giving it a rugged, low-profile aesthetic while offering solid corrosion resistance and edge retention. With its 2.47-inch curved karambit blade, the Provoke® excels in slicing, hooking, and defensive utility. CRKT’s Kinematic® mechanism transforms the way folding knives deploy. A simple press of the upper crossbar with your thumb activates the blade’s morphing action, locking it into place instantly. To close, shift the hidden release lever near the finger loop for a smooth, safe retraction. Whether you’re adding to your tactical rotation or exploring the latest in knife innovation, the CR4041R Provoke® offers a unique blend of performance, style, and mechanical brilliance.
